This is actually one feature I hate of optparse: someone could have a valid command line using --conn, but if we ever added a new command line option that also started with --conn, a previously working command line would now be broken due to ambiguous arguments. I've never heard complaints about it in practice but it's something to consider. - Cole _______________________________________________ virt-tools-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virt-tools-list
